The Ruby Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica 'Ruby') is a stunning, variegated indoor plant featuring striking pink, cream, and deep burgundy foliage. As a cultivar of the Indian Rubber Tree, it thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant color, needs well-draining soil, and requires watering only when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry.

Key Care and Characteristics:

  • Light: Needs bright, indirect light. Too little light causes it to lose its variegation (fading to green) and become leggy.

  • Water: Water every 1–2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering is the main cause of death for this plant.

  • Temperature & Humidity: Prefers temperatures between 60°F–80°F (15°C–25°C) and higher humidity.

  • Toxicity: The white, milky sap is mildly toxic to pets and humans, and can cause skin irritation.

  • Maintenance: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve light absorption
